The boiling point of acetone and water is 560C and 1000C respectively. Distillation is used to separate miscible liquids which have a boiling point difference of more than 250C.

For fractional distillation, the difference in boiling points should have been less than 250C

Centrifugation and decantation processes are done to separate components of heterogeneous mixtures and not miscible liquids.

So the correct answer is distillation.
